Another stand-out Napa winery well worth your time and perhaps worthy of your patronage as all profits go to heart research. More on that in a minute.

The wines at Ehlers Vineyards are delicious – the Cabernets divine! Ehlers Estate vineyard is located on an historic wine growing site. It’s in the St. Helena appellation and is about a mile or so north of the charming town of St. Helena on Hwy 29.

The winery was purchased in the mid ‘90s by a French wine enthusiast named Jean Leducq. His goal was to create a winery that would produce complex wines similar to his beloved Bordeaux. When he died in 2002, he left the vineyard to the non-profit Leducq Foundation that he and his wife founded. So, when you buy one of the Ehlers’ fabulous wines, the profits fund cardiac research.

It’s chilly this week (pun intended)! Texas weather is unpredictable as ever, and so are our variations on this southern, saucy classic: homemade chili…the heartier the better! National Chili Day also happens to be THIS Friday, so there’s no better excuse to break out the crock-pot and get cookin’.
